Bean · Federal Electorate
How much of daily life sits within a walk of home — a transparent 0–10 walkability score and the everyday destinations you can reach on foot: shops, public transport, schools, parks and health services, plus the streets and terrain in between.
A mean terrain slope of 6.4% describes the hilly landscape of Bean, which is about the same as the Territory average. Despite this, the area is very walkable, though far fewer homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed compared to the Territory average. Most residents can easily reach parks and transport, but health services are harder to access on foot.

6.3
Very walkable of federal electorate areas.
A 0–10 score for how much of daily life sits within an easy walk of the average home — weighing how close groceries, public transport, cafés, parks, health services, schools, culture and everyday services are, and how many of each. Walking times are measured on an elevation-aware pedestrian network, so hills count against reach. The methodology page describes how the score is put together.
